And still I rise. Today, I rise to remind us that as we celebrate Juneteenth, let us not forget the men of the 25th Army Corps. General Gordon Granger came into Galveston, Texas, to read General Order No. 3, announcing that the enslaved persons had been freed, but it was the 25th Army Corps that came in before General Gordon Granger and liberated Galveston, Texas. They were 1,000 persons who had been enslaved but were now free. The 25th Army Corps deserves recommendation, and they deserve commemoration. Let us remember them, as well. God bless you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the United States of America. ____________________
